Soap does not desolve

it could be your water preasure or the water is hard,,,but like with most dish washers the tablets dont desolve all the way,,,you need more of a liquid soap type of a cleaner

Hi,

The first thing is have a look at the instruction manual from HERE

If the dishwasher is not washing properly then please follow these steps:

1. Check the water temperature. Should be 125 to 140 F.
   
2. Check pump re-circulation., Listen, see if it sounds like it is spraying the water around with enough pressure.
   
3. Check water level when the fill cycle has completed. Should be just under the heating element. If not, possibly need to replace the water inlet valve.
   
4. Check the spray arm and pump cover for splits or leaks.
   
5. Check to make sure dishwasher is draining after each cycle. There should only be a little water in the bottom of the tub.
   
6. Make sure the dishes are loaded properly, or dishwasher is not overloaded.
   
7. Possibly try a different detergent. Some liquid-gels will bubble and a pump cannot pump bubbles.
   

As you said that the water builds up at the bottom see If it comes out 'foamy' then liquid dish soap is getting introduced into the dishwasher. Liquid dish soap is different than automatic dishwasher detergent. liquid dish soap needs to be COMPLETELY rinsed from anything that has been pre-soaked prior to putting in the dishwasher. after a couple of regular cycles the foam will go away. Nowadays liquid dish soap is also 'concentrated' or 'ultra concentrated' which doesn't help.


If further this does not solve your problem the the only solution is to get it repaired.

Goodluck..

try washing the dish washer out with a good drain unblocker the system gets cloated up with grease, then use a dishwasher salt with the washes this will help to remove the suds ets, most dishwashes have a compartment to put either liquid or solid dishwash aid in try a different aid, also if you use tablet form i desolve it first in hot water in a small container
then place that into the dishwaser on the lower shelf, that helps

Take out the botton dish rack and check the drain. Most likely there is a screen that is supposed to catch big debris and keep it from entering the drain. It's probably got a lot of gunck in it. Take the screen out and clean it and check under the screen too!

use liquid soap ...those tablets are less messy but they don't work very well ....and make sure to use a dry agent like "jet dry"

The newer Whirlpool dishwashers have little slots in the top of the soap dispenser to allow water to seep in during the first water fill. This design allows the tablet to begin to dissolve during the first fill then be usefull when the soap door opens. In your case, I would check to see if the soap dish is opening at all. Perhaps one of the racks are not allowing clearance or the soap door itself is sticking closed.

Let the dishwasher fill, drain, and then fill again. Open the door of the dishwasher and see if the soap door is still closed and if so, there is your problem. Also, at this time, check the water temperature. It should be at least 120 degrees F for the soap to be effective.

Hope this helps, Ken

Your description sounds like the water pump is wearing out. Call the repairman.

disasemble the pump housing and remove the debris that are located in the housing, not enough pump pressure to spin the spray arms to desolve the detergent

first start the washer listen for it to fill then open the door and see how much water is in it let me know but hold my rating till we finish

I put the wrong dishwasher on my last post.
